Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings PLUS Section

This section is the ideal expansion to the Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings, featuring additional articulations of the Chamber Strings and Appassionata Strings included in the Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings section.

As a user of the Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings you may quickly and conveniently add articulations you may be missing. These samples are not included in the Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings, but have been specifically selected for this collection. For example, while the Chamber Violins’ articulations in the Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings include staccato, détaché, sustained, sforzato, tremolo, pizzicato, legato and portamento, the PLUS collection supplements these with the addition of the following articulations: Short détaché, fortepiano, snap-pizzicato, half and whole tone trills, Repetition Performances (legato & spiccato), fast repetitions (150, 170, 190 bpm), and artificial harmonics (staccato & sustain).

Please note that the Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings PLUS contains some Matrices that resort to Patches from the Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings. The prior installation of the Special Edition Vol. 2 Strings is therefore required in order to load these Matrices.

Product activation:
Vienna Instruments require the ViennaKey!
This USB protection device by eLicenser (by Steinberg, formerly Syncrosoft) is not included in the box of any collection, it is a separate item you have to get additionally. So you’ll have to order at least one ViennaKey with your first purchase. It will be put inside the shopping basket automatically but can be deleted if not required. Customers who order the complete SYMPHONIC CUBE will get one ViennaKey for free (not shown in the basket). If you already own another eLicenser USB protection device (e.g., from Steinberg or Arturia), you can use it for the VIENNA INSTRUMENTS, too. Each dongle can store up to 100 product licenses.
Additionally an internet connection on any computer is required to authorize a VSL product.
